Alasdair Fraser

Well, Monday evening we here in Missoula had a lovely treat with the live performance at the Dana Gallery by internationally acclaimed Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser with his partner, cellist Natalie Haas. The "Fire & Grace" performance was truly a rare musical treasure of vibrant tunes, eloquent skills and warm community. Without equivocation Alasdair Fraser elevated the appreciation and beauty of Scottish music to a height hitherto unexceeded, and then exceeded it himself following the intercession!

The entire performance was sponsored by the Dana Gallery and the Celtic Connection, and for all involved it was a rousing success. Approximately 200 tickets were sold, and a broad spectrum of the Missoula community turned out to enjoy the evening. For those unable to purchase tickets in time, do not feel left out! MPR will be airing the performance later this month, and The Celtic Connection has both CD's of Alasdair Fraser with Natalie Haas for sale right here in Missoula.

The two CD's are: "Fire & Grace" for $18.00, and the new release "In the Moments" for $18.00
